Steve Amorose speaks with Griffins coach Curt Fraser--who played with Chelios during the Canada Cup in 1987--who says that that the Griffins feel that Chelios's presence is a big positive, and will play Chelios as much as possible; both Jonathan Ericsson (who will play alongside Chelios on Friday) and Jakub Kindl (who will play alongside Chelios on Saturday) sound very excited about their opportunities.
